This proxy statement supplement amends and supplements the Fund’s proxy statement previously sent to you on or about September 8, 2010.
In order to clarify the applicable required vote under Maryland law, the “Required Vote” sections on pages 6 and 8 of the Proxy Statement are hereby modified as follows:
Required Vote. All shareholders of the Fund vote together to approve the Proposal. Provided that a quorum is present at the Meeting, a majority of all the votes cast at the Meeting will be sufficient to approve the Proposal.
Please refer to this supplement when reviewing the information under the heading “Required Vote.”
We also encourage those shareholders who have not yet voted to exercise their right to vote. Voting is quick and easy. Everything you need is enclosed. To cast your vote, simply complete the proxy card(s) enclosed in this package. Be sure to sign the card(s) before mailing it (them) in the postage-paid envelope. You may also vote your shares by touch-tone telephone or through the Internet. Simply call the toll-free number or visit the Web site indicated on your proxy card(s), enter the control number found on the card(s), and follow the recorded or online instructions.
Please note that if you have already submitted your vote, there is no need to take any additional action.
If you have any questions before you vote, please call the Altman Group (“Altman”), the Fund’s proxy solicitor, at 1-877-536-1563. Altman will help you get your vote in quickly. You may also receive a telephone call from Altman reminding you to vote your shares. Thank you for your participation in this important initiative.
